I didn't really know what to expect at Q Solo, but I think their tagline says it all: "where gay porn stars start their career." I don't know if any pornstars have come out of this site, but basically we've got some solo male action here from guys you might not have heard of yet. Their tour shows lots of jacking off, and lots of ass play with dildos and such. Membership is a hefty $30 a month, and gets you access to just 44 scenes currently which isn't a ton.
The goods:
- All exclusive solo male material. I feel like I've used similar comments a lot recently, but it's the one thing that really sets them apart here. They find good-looking guys to pose nude and jack off for you that are all exclusive to this site. It's why you're here, and it's what helps give this site a decent score.
- Videos look decent. The photos actually look okay too, they're just too small. The videos are obviously shot with good lighting and a good camera, and end up looking pretty nice on the site here.
The bads:
- Needs some growth. It's just not that large, especially when you consider the price here. 44 scenes isn't tiny, but it has a ways to go (especially with their slow update schedule) to be considered even average-sized if you ask me.
- Updates are a slow. They only come every two weeks from what I can tell, which is well below the weekly minimum I usually look for. With your competitors doing weekly, twice weekly, or possibly daily updates, you have to do all you can to stay ahead of the curve.
- Pictures are small. Considering they look like they were shot in a professional studio, I'm surprised the pictures only come in below 800x600 which is just too small unfortunately. Broadband is the name of the game these days, and we want large photos and videos in the best possible quality.
- No model/scene info. This one surprised me a bit based on how they'd setup their site, but they really don't give you any info on the guys or scenes they shot at all. No simple bio, no interview, no scene description, nothing.
- Navigation is a bit plain. You just browse around in chronological order since that's the only option provided. I wouldn't mind a dedicated model's index, perhaps a model search engine, and more.
Conclusion:
The content here is okay, but that's really where the fun ends. The small site, slow updates, small photos, and lack of any interactive features with these guys is really too bad. I hope in time they can bump those updates up to start (which will help them grow), and possibly add some extras to enhance the experience here. It's not bad, but they could do a lot more with what they have in my opinion.

Review: 03-14-08 |
Q Solo is rolling along with business as usual it looks like. The site has grown a bit, but not a ton since their updates are still a bit slow for my liking. The site itself doesn't appear to have much new that I can tell, so the main benefit nowadays is just the extra content. The changes from the first review still apply and would help greatly, but for now, at least the content they do have is decent.
Score decreased from 77.5 to 77.0.
